Anyone any good with in car audio? How easy is it to transplant a boot mounted cd changer from an escort into a focus?
Many thanks

The units it easy to move the hard part is the cable that controlls it and power lead.

If its done properly and depending on the quality, it should go down the center(away from all speaker leads). This means the front/rear seats, trim, console out and carpet up.oh and a good fiddle behind the dash.

If its down the side(the lazy way) its just take the trim off and back seats out....Oh and a repeat putting it all back in the new car....






Or just buy a new cable. Wink

Same head unit? Or have you checked boot changer (and/or lead) is compatible?

You probably have checked but I'm told I have a knack for asking the obvious Rolling Eyes Embarassed

I havnt seen the unit so dont know what the original head unit was. All i know is its a standard ford jobbie.
As for cables i assume the wireing for a changer is already in place in the focus as its an option. They arnt gonna go ripping up a new car just to fit a cd changer.

The head unit isn't a standard ford one, it's an aftermarket Sony job.

I need to fiddle with the tape player, at the moment it doesn't seem to like my Zen adaptor but if I can make it work then I'll probably keep the whole thing Jay, no sense ripping it out if it does what I need.
